Substitute Matt Godwin was the hero for Woodley as they took a deserved victory in a Hellenic Division 1 East match where they squandered countless chances.

It looked like the game was destined to end goalless, but Godwin’s first goal of the season five minutes from time was enough for victory.

Woodley were bright early on with Nick Edwards and Jamie Fairchild going close.

Jordan Sawyer had a free-kick saved, while Dan Smith in the Woodley goal was never really stretched.

With the wind and driving rain arriving mid-way through the half, the game became scrappy and although the home side won a series of free kicks, their delivery into the penalty area was easily handled by the Hungerford defence.

However, the second half was a different matter with Woodley creating more clear-cut chances.

Richard Thomas had a header tipped over from a set-piece and Sawyer should really have scored from a free header five yards out.

Sawyer then produced a great piece of skill to get one-on-one with the keeper, but his touch deserted him at the vital moment.

Sam Cripps laid a chance on a plate for Sawyer at the far post, but once again the young striker’s usually predatory finish deserted him.

Sawyer almost lobbed Lee with a great effort from range and when Hungerford made a mess of a clearance, Karl Sims’ cross was just deflected away as Sawyer set himself to strike the ball.

The away side should have taken the lead themselves with Lee Hamilton twice missing and Tom Hamilton also turning and missing the target in a crowded penalty area.

Godwin came into the game and when Danny Isaiew had his shot parried out to Godwin, he brought the ball down and placed his shot into the far corner.

Hungerford then had a real go at getting back into the game, but Jordan Tallett and John Donegan stood firm and Woodley won the game.
